"The first time I had this was at my daughter-in-law's home, it is the most delicious couscous dish, I'm sharing it here for all to enjoy. Sadly when I made this I did not have any apricots I subbed green olives I can tell you it was good but not all as good as with them added. I think dried cranberries and toasted cashews would be a great alternative. This makes a huge a you may want to cut it in half"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the couscous onions and pistachios and cook, stirring constantly until couscous is toasted and light golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add the water and next 3 dry spices, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 12-15 minutes (check towards the end of cooking and if the couscous is still not to your liking add in more water and continue cooking it's the texture you desire).

Step 2

Remove the lid, stir in the apricots and scallions, taste, and adjust the seasonings. Transfer the couscous to a serving bowl.
